ok i need some help here guys, we had every thing on i meen every thing but the oil pan off to tap it. we could not get it off it looked as thow you had to take the acutal tranny off to get the bolts off for the rest of the oil pan to drop it down.

how did you auto guys do it? we had to take every thing back off other then the fuel pump and the actual intercool so i could drive back home.

Is it an EX? If so there are a couple of brackets that brace the tranny that you remove. Its nothing major, just a couple of bolts. If it still doesn't move, tap it with a rubber mallet until it comes off. The sealant they use at the factory sticks pretty good.

Dude....i did the whole kit myself...@ the age of 17.

All u gotta do is remove all the bolts. Then you remove the 2 or 3 tranny bracket housing things off. I also took off the black protector plate thing, it just seemed like it was in the way. Then you gotta pry on that thing until you break the seal. I mean, you really have to pry it. I put all my weight into it with a crowbar and finally broke it.

You just have to use some ***** when you're doing it, don't feel like you're going to break it. Just give it everything you got and that sucker will break lose.

Did you manage to get it installed? If you haven't yet, I'll do it for free if you're willing to make the drive.

crap.. I should have taken pics of what you have to do. I was kind of confused at first, but really, everything is just held on with bolts. there's 2 14mm, several 12mm, and several 10mm bolts. in the end you should take off 3-4 brackets, put the shift lever in 2nd gear, take off the bolt that's attached to the shift lever cable (the bronze piece that goes into the transmission-- there's a locking tab thing you have to pry up with a flathead or something), then remove the black inspection plate.
